Summary
A machine can be fully available while production remains stopped. -------------------- This Field Note examines how missing material, tooling, drawings and approvals quietly consume capacity, and introduces a simple next-job readiness check that teams can apply before the current job finishes. No new machine required. The existing one would simply appreciate being given something to do. -------------------- Stay Tuned… Regards, Top Voice Maido & Kon'nichiwa min'na! 👶🏻🧑🏻🦱👩🏻🦳 Wie Geht's guys?
